The Drift, Thurlestone

About this property

The Drift is a beautifully styled coastal apartment nestled within the pretty seaside village of Thurlestone, where rolling South Devon countryside meets golden beaches and endless sea views.

Perched within the exclusive grounds of the renowned Thurlestone Hotel, The Drift is an elegant coastal apartment designed for slow mornings, sea air and effortless South Devon living. One of just four private residences within this beautifully positioned building, the apartment combines understated luxury with the ease and comfort of a boutique retreat, all moments from the coastline.

Set on the first floor, The Drift accommodates up to four guests across two beautifully appointed bedrooms, offering spacious, light-filled interiors and a calming palette inspired by the surrounding coast. The open-plan living space has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, with soft textures, contemporary furnishings and large doors opening onto a private balcony terrace where distant sea views stretch across the golf course towards the horizon.

The sleek kitchen and dining area create a sociable heart to the home, equally suited to long family suppers as they are relaxed breakfasts before a day on the beach. The principal bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary with luxurious linens and a beautifully finished en suite, while the second bedroom provides an equally restful space for family or friends.

Guests at The Drift also enjoy access to the exceptional facilities at Thurlestone Hotel, including the spa, indoor heated swimming pool, outdoor pool (seasonal opening applies), golf course and children’s playroom, allowing for a stay that feels both private and indulgently hotel-like.

Perfectly positioned within the heart of the village, sandy beaches and hidden coves are all within easy reach. The South West Coast Path winds its way towards Bantham, where golden sands, rolling surf and relaxed beachside food vans await, while nearby Hope Cove offers postcard-perfect coastal charm.

Whether returning from windswept coastal walks, afternoons on the water or long lunches overlooking the sea, The Drift offers a beautifully calm and luxurious base from which to experience one of the South Hams’ most treasured stretches of coastline.
